Description

I'm building a Shopify Function and Shopify CLI is generating files in dist directory, which is not gitignored.

Should I commit these files or I can gitignore them?

I couldn't find any mention of this anywhere in the docs.

Start with the linked Shopify discount function documentation and inspect how the Shopify CLI generates the dist directory for this JavaScript example. Determine whether generated files are intended to be committed or ignored, then document that guidance where the missing documentation belongs and update the repository guidance if needed.
